    UFC 154 will have a special guest at ringside for the main event in current reigning UFC Middleweight Champion of the World Anderson Silva. The UFC hopes to bring Silva into the Octagon after an assumed Georges St-Pierre victory in order to set up a St-Pierre/Silva super-fight, ideally at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. This isn't the first time the UFC have attempted to set up this fight live, as St-Pierre was flown to Abu Dhabi in April of 2010 for UFC 112 but Silva's performance infuriated UFC brass and postponed their plans.

    Silva has had no issues fighting big 205ers. A friend of mine saw him a couple years ago in between training camps (he suspected) and said he couldn't believe how big the guy was.

    Calling someone out who is a weight class above you is killer. Below you? Little sketch.

    Though I want the fight to happen. Yet I also want to see GSP/Diaz...

    I don't know if that is a real picture BTW. Could be forced perspective or photoshop. Silva is 4" taller.

    “I am on vacation from fighting, I think I will return only in the end of the next year. I have personal projects ongoing. Tomorrow I’m embarking to Los Angeles to attend the arrangements of the academy we’re setting up there,” he said.

    “I will go to Los Angeles and then I will go to Canada for UFC 154. I’m going to stay there to film an action movie that me and Lyoto will participate in [along with Steven Seagal]. But it is not my character to step in there and call somebody out. So I think this won’t happen. I fact I don’t just think, I am sure!” he explains.

    “My focus is on my personal projects and on the fight versus Georges St-Pierre. If the UFC wants to make an ínterim bout while I am away, it is up to them. I don’t know if it will have any meaning but they can do whatever they want. I am in a comfort zone, so I am not concerned about it,” he said.

    ugh, fighters and their damn movies. When will they learn that they can't act.
